Last year's Bike to Work Day pit stop invites cyclists to stop for refreshments and a tune-up.
Skip the construction, try a new commute
Annual Commuter Challenge and Bike to Work Day coming soon
Kick-start your summer by participating in two popular events, Commuter Challenge and Bike to Work Day. These long-standing traditions celebrate active and sustainable methods of travel and encourage UM students, staff and faculty to try new ways to get to campus.
Commuter Challenge
Reduce your emissions by joining fellow UM staff, faculty and students in travelling to campus by carpool, bike, transit, on foot, or by working from home (where approved). Now in its 25th year, you can register for the Commuter Challenge on Green Action Centre’s new GoMB’s site, where participants can create a free user account with their UM email, track their kilometres of sustainable transportation and be entered to win great local prizes.
What: Commuter Challenge
When: June 1 – 7
Where: Register online
Bike to Work Day
Rise bright and early, and grab your bike and U-lock for Bike to Work Day on Tuesday, June 10, coordinated by Bike Week Winnipeg.
Stop by UM’s Fort Garry pit stop, hosted by the Office of Sustainability, Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management, UMSU and UMCycle Bike Kiosk, to grab some snacks and enter to win prizes. This year, get minor repairs done on-site courtesy of UMCycle, and register your bike for free with 529 Garage to help prevent bike theft and assist with recovery.
